Finishing a Consultation

In this article you will learn how to use and configure the Consultation Timer, Date, Room and Consultation Type, and Finish a Consult located at the top of the patient's clinical record.

The Consultation Timer starts whenever you open a patient's clinical record.

When you start a consultation, the time and date defaults to Today. The Start Time and End Time are recorded as part of the Consultation Notes.

We also have two options for saving notes in this function. The first is the Auto-Save function, which will automatically save any data entered into the form.

We also give the ability to manually save notes by clicking the Save button below:

Note: It is recommended that you utilise both functions to ensure the data entered is saved.

If you perform a consultation off-site or away from your computer, you can back-date the appointment date and time.
